Some areas of the Finger Lakes have already seen up to 3 inches of rain this morning, the National Weather Service said, and flood alerts have been posted in Cayuga, Schuyler, Seneca, Steuben and Yates counties.

The rain system has moved very slowly across the Southern Tier, dumping heavy rain in just a few confined areas, said National Weather Service meteorologist Chuck Parker.

"The rain has been relatively steady and the system has just hovered over those areas." Parker said.
